To the worried mother.Relax,your son will be fine.With such a relativly short sentence,he will be classified s3 which will enable him to go to a camp.He may even stay there and do his time in Bath Institution as i did.As long as he does his own time,he should have no problems...So Relax....Robbin

i got a 10 yr. bit as a teen back in 88 walked in a kid and left a man i learned alot the guys that ran our crew were legendary gangstersfrom my home town dodge city (windsor) they looked out for the younger guys showed us the best way to do time and kept us out of bigger trouble than we were in. i mean in there its easy to turn 10 yrs into a life sentence .its also the type of place where when u walk out to population ur given all the respect in the world what u do with it frm that point is all up to you also word of warning dont judge a book by its cover best to all dodge city old school b.

I was there in 200-2004 and I met the best people I ever met in my life. it was a hard time, it was dangerous if you fucked up, but if you did your own thing and were respectful you were treated with respect. I spent almost 5 months in the hole and I think a big piece of my soul was left behind there. It made me a different guy. I seen alot of dying and alot misery but we all shared it together. We all suffered the same and the guards were the biggest scumbags on earth. Fuck the police, and fuck the peole who think we were living in a day camp, this is the hardest prison in canada with serial killers, gang violence and stabbings on a regular. Don't get it twisted, they just dont inform the public about our plight. FREE ALL MY PEOPLE

there for a bit, 1976... quiet. I lived on F2 and I was SHU cleaner. terrible the way they treated those guys on that range. 24 hour lockup, shower every couple of days or so. that's the guards entrance, and they would make lots of noise to help rattle the guys on every shift change. they also let the toilets dry out to make it stink. only worked there a for a bit, but spent alot of time cleaning the toilets and filling them up with water.

The Arizona Department of corrections uses manpower effectively.
While two men can walk off the Kingman yard, the administration spends its time enforcing policy in ineffective ways. I have a mentally ill nephew on a minimum security yard that was asked to hold 6 Quarters for another inmate. ( considered contraband) He was in prison for a non violent crime and because these 6 quarters can be used as a weapon to kill someone, they had to transfer him to a medium security yard. Yep. That's effective. If anyone knows of anyone in or out of prison please explain to me how 6 quarters can kill someone????
Prison's don't rehab. They torment the mentally ill and those unfortunate enough not to have money for a good lawyer.
When he had his trial they had taken him off all his medications then scared the crap out of him to get him to cop a plea. Even his lawyer stated he could not represent him properly because he could not talk to him..
That's a notch in the DA's belt.... she got to scare a schizophrenic into copping a plea...
Do you wonder how those two guys walked out???

I'm a young girl the age of 15 and you know what? i have been to jail about 3 or 4 times and i did not like it. But i feel that once you're in, it's really hard to get out, because the second time i went to jail i was in for 2 months, and i said i would never go back. Well, that did not work at all, because 3 weeks later i was back in, and then the fourth time i said, "i'm not going back." I'm doing good. I have been out for 15 days, after serving 9 months for armed robbery.

80% of the place is reception.. the rest is GP. Lots of guys beating their chest that they toughed it out in the haven because they were in recep. So what.. because reception is no big deal. Still danger, but no more danger than the donny or any other big city jail.
It's the guys in pop, in j-unit, those are the inmates you deal with when you're really IN the haven. Thrill-haven.
But if you're there for a stop-over on the way to another joint, oh well. Make the most of it, hold your own... you're going to be with PCs and all kinds of rape hounds, diddlers, you name it. It's all mixed up together.
Best to keep to yourself there in reception. You never know who you're talking to. You don't want to be seen befriending some PC, and then go to the Bay with guys thinking you no good either.

How is it for a first time offender in this institution? I understand that this is the toughest prison in Ontario.

My name is Phillip R. I was sentenced to two years in 2003 for a robbery. It was my first time in federal prison. I spent a year in Joyceville and 1 year in fenbrrok. I violated my parole twice and got sent back.I got out in may 2005 and have been lost eversince. My whole life has been fucked. I was adopted at 3years old. I was brought up in rich family. My mom got sick of cancer when i was 10 years old. I left home and went into group homes. I doesnt really matter what happenned after i left home. I broke into my school just to get away i was young and didnt understand anything. My dad came to court the next day, my lawyer asked him if he was going to bail me out and he said i dont want him in our family he is not like us that is when i died inside. I have gone through life trying to have a heart. I have acted the best way i can and try to make people happy. I want to kill my father deep down in my heart. I just want the anger to stop and one day it will end . My mother is dead as ami in person. I have a family now and i am trying to love my daughter, girfriend, and her son. I dont want them to go through anything i did in life. I will not make a good father with the hatred i have towards mine. I will figure out what life really takes to be at peace.
Thank you

Hi once again I'm back as I said in my last story I escaped from Collins Bay and as a result I was sent to Millhaven at the age of 21yrs. In this prison I learned to grow up real quick. I feel lucky because I knew many of the inmates, because most of the inmates wheir lifers and violent offenders. This was the time when I saw how people can be to other people with respect to life known!
